Foaming Fury – Barron River Rafting from Port Douglas

The Beautiful Barron River. Our Cairns rafting tours are an adrenalin rush and fantastic introduction to white water rafting. These half day tours are hosted on the Barron River, in the Barron Gorge National Park, part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage area.

The natural surroundings are stunning. Towering rainforest mountains, giant granite boulders and the ever-changing face of the river itself, which provides an exciting combination of nail-biting grade 3 rapids and peaceful, calm water floating.

Water levels are guaranteed throughout the year, thanks to the operations of the 66 MW Barron Gorge Hydro power station.

Our Cairns rafting tours operate every day, with pick-ups from Cairns and Port Douglas (or self-drive). There’s no experience necessary to participate in this Cairns rafting tour, as our world class River Guides have got you covered.
